RUNNING HEAD: Culture And Belief Indifferences.

Ridges and valleys were all stuck with amazement, the river flowed between the two ridges

while water was bubbling creating a rhythm to its maker. The birds of the air were deeply

asleep in their next waiting to wake up and sing melodiously to their maker. The lights in the

homes were all put off and you could hear the snoring of the asleep people from far. This

silence was haunting. It penetrated deep in the nerves that caused one to shake like a feeble

leaf. The animals of the land never knew what could happen next.

With much expectation, the new day dawn with all the faces glittering with joy. It was a

Monday morning where everyone was busy undertaking their chores. Women and small girls

carried empty guards to the river while others returned with guards full of water to their

homestead. Others were left at homing milking the cattle’s while others had woken up very

early and rushed to their farms to gather yams. For those who went to the river at this time

were the lazy ones. The early risers had already fetched water and they were busy preparing

breakfast for their families.

Whistles were heard as Men were seen busy escorting the small boys to the respective

grazing lands. This was one of the various roles that had to be undertaken by boys while the

girls were left back at home with their mothers to be taught various house chores. The elders

Various gathering as so called “churches” were being formed where some of the individuals

had started joining the congregation. This was just but alienation from the old ways. It was

swords which were so sharp to easily penetrate the flesh. The land had been granted by the

ancestors and this was not debatable at all cost.

Michael saw that it was necessary for his own son to attend the schools so that they could use

Without no hesitation, immediately Dennis was admitted to the so called New Era School. In

here he was so intelligent such that the whites saw him as a potential church leader in the

spreading of the gospel. But little did they know it was already a set mission to know their

ways and movements.

Time came and passed, days were still passing while they villagers still did not know what to

do. These strangers had already taken almost everything that belonged to them and claimed it

is there. Anyone who attempted to differ with them was punished heavily and dealt with

perpendicularly. Some of the customs and practices started to be condemned which included

“The sleeping lions now had to wake up or else sleep forever. It was now time to rise and

fight for what yours is not just staying there and watch like women.” said Amos. This was

one of the prominent elders in the region.
